Veteran’s Administration Information

Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and how to file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a denied claim with the VA. Please pass this information on to every Veteran you know. Nearly 100% of this information is free and available for all veterans, the only catch is: you have to ask for it, because they won’t tell you about a specific benefit unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right doors open for you and then be ready to have an advocate who is willing to work with and for you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and your best interests.

Further Evidence of Why Blacks Reject the Conservative Movement

[Only] 14% of blacks marry. [Seventy-four percent]74% don’t know who their fathers are. Their contribution to the arts is gangsta rap, nasty, foul chattering, that passes as music. [Ninety-six percent] 96% voted for Barack Obama, who is the worst fraud and fake ever to set foot in the US. Per capita, blacks represent 80% of prison population violent crimes segment. Billions have been spent on blacks in the US to mainstream them to no avail.

James Petras: The Super-Rich in the US: Greatest Living Parasites

The bailouts of banks, speculators and manufacturers served their real purposes: the multi-millionaires became billionaires and the later became multi-billionaires.

Israel’s Fingerprints Are All Over 9/11 (And I’m Not Afraid to Say It!)

Thank you both for your responses. Here’s my two-penneth; I agree that attempting to discuss politics based on ethnic or religious [israel-and-the-clash-of-civilisations] distinctions is usually misguided (although the various groups which constitute the ‘Israel Lobby’ are almost totally motivated by ethnic and religious based ideologies and imperatives). But it gets more tricky when it comes to analyzing the interface between states. I think we do need to recognize that the U.S. and Israel are two different, autonomous, sovereign states whose interests often differ markedly in the Middle East. It is commonly held in international relations theory that states act in their own interests.

Should Law Schools Follow The Medical School Teaching Model?

law

The outstanding record compiled by the trial advocacy teams of the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover(MSLAW) in recent years is directly attributable to the school’s innovative teaching methods, the team’s coaches believe. Otherwise, how explain the law school’s moot court victories over so many formidable law school opponents, including the best of the Ivy League?

Bankster, Chaos, Wars and TV

Don’t you dare to call me anti-Semitic. I am not speaking of immensely talented Askenazi-American artists, classical musicians, merchants, writers, scientists, philosophers, or of the many skillfully trained but largely misinformed sales-people and “agents” who distribute complicated financial products.
